THE ROW about Limerick City Mayor Jerry O’Dea’s silence over an incident in which his car was involved in a single-car accident continued in the council chamber this week.
Having being refused permission to table a motion for last Monday’s metropolitan district meeting of Limerick City and County Council asking the Mayor to make a statement on the issue, Cllr Cian Prendeville (AAA) says he is taking the matter to the Garda Commissioner.
“I will move at the next meeting that Limerick City and County Council write to the Garda Commissioner asking her to publish the results of the recent inquiry into why there was no prosecution in relation to the high-profile car crash in Limerick on December 11 2014,” he told the Limerick Post.
Earlier at the meeting, the AAA councillor was voted down when he tried to have a similar motion that he proposed at a previous meeting read into the minutes.
Members voted to accept the accuracy of the record by 13 votes to two with six abstentions.
